Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer a question of dOubt-al-
though the contrary was once believed-that
medicines which produce violent effects are
unsuited to other than desperate emerg-
encies In other words, that super potent
remedies are calculated to weaken and
iniure the system rather than reform its ir-
regularities. Among medicines of debilitat-
ing effect are cathartics and cholagogues
which copiously and abruptly eyacuate the
bowels Because it does not do this, Hostel
drenching class of purgatives. Painless in
its effects, it is sufficiently active to remedy
chronic constipation. 1t relieves by invig-
Grating the intestines, and enables not
forces. them to perform the duty imposed
upon them by nature. Promoting the secre-
tion of bile in normal quantities by its
healthfully stimulating effect upon the
| liver, it is eminently conductive to digestion,
| and contributes in no small degree to keep
| the bowels regular.

THE IOWA ELECTIONS.

Much has been written and said dur
ing the last few weeks concerning the
alleged terrible Outrages in Iowa, which
have been compared with those perpe-
trated in Ireland by British landlords,
and the number and manner of the
evictions exaggerated to such degree
that it seemed almost impossible to
learn with any degree of certainty what
were the real facts in the case.
An Iowa exchange, which has all
the facts close at hand, in referring to
these tales, says that the lands in
O'Brien county from which settlers
have been recently evicted, after hav-
ing been awarded to the Chicago, Mil
waukee s. st. Paul company by fed
eral court were patented to that COM
pany by Governor Larrabee that the
corporation subsequently sold the prop
erty to the Western Land Company,
which Is Incorporated under the laws
of Iowa and of which Close Bros. of
Lemars, formerly aliens but now citi-
zens, are members; that the Western
Land Company has in turn sold all the
| lana, Win the exception OF 30 acres,
to home-seekers and others; and that
the evictions by the sheriff of the set
tiers who squatted upon the land while
its title was in dispute have been in
conformity with the orders of the
courts and executed for the purpose of
giving the latest purchasers posses
sion.
In all, sixteen settlers have been
evicted; and as they are compelled tc
abandon the improvements they have
made, and now find themselves, at the
threshold of winter, homeless and poor
their condition is indeed pitiable.
AS the lands claimed by the Sioux
City s. st Paul company have not beer
patented to that corporation, none Of
the settlers on them have been dis.
turbed. The evictions have beer
limited to the settlers on the lands tC

Commodore Melville.

George w. Melville, who has been
promoted TO the highest position at
tanned in the Navy Engineer Corps,
that of Engineer-in-Chief with the rank
of Commodore, is q man of striking
appearance, and despite the fact that
he is junior to fifty others on the active
list not a murmur has been heard from
his seniors, who might be supposed TO
be Jealous of the selection His
superior ability and many other quail
fications are appreciated by all of his
fellows. He was born in New York
in 1891. and consequently will not
reach his retiring age until 1908, but
having been chief of the Bureau of
Steam Engineering he will if he serves
full term of four years. be exempt
from Sea duty, except in time of war.
In Melville's school-boy days his
family were well known among the old
Knickerbockers. He is q heavy-built
man. weighing about 100 pounds, is
five feet eleven inches in height, is of
light complexion, and has bright blue
eyes. Notwithstanding his severe
arctic experience on the Jeannette, from
which he suffered many months after
his return he is quite supple and ath-
letic. When he returned from the
Polaris search expedition on the
Tigress in 1873 friend greeted him at
the navy yard with: ssWell, George,

bright as new uniform would feel on
me; I never felt better. And to prove
his assertion he turned . handspring

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, yester-
day the editor of the Tribune was
burned in effigy because his paper sug-'
gested the idea that frankie Folsom
married Cleveland because he was pres
ident and for the purpose of obtaining
the position of mistress of the White
House. The article further says: "Such
a marriage would never have been
thought of but for the astonishing po-
itical accidents to which in the course
of two or three years brought Mr..
Cleveland out of the obscurity, which
is his proper element, to the highest
position in the nation. 1t is hard to
have respect for woman who would
sell herself to as gross and repulsive a
man as Grover Cleveland; and with a
private record so mslodorous for the
bauble of private social ascendency.
She is now an object of curiosity and
remark for gaping crowds, and her pho
tographs are sold almost if not quite as
freely as Mrs. Langtry's. Such is her
reward. If she can secure a reelection
for Grover, she viii have four years
more of the qualification which the
highest social prominence gives, and of
the delight of unf1agging newspaper
notoriety. After that she win simply
have to put up with being the wife of

an ex-president could possibly be. One
cannot help pang of sympathy for her
but she has chosen her lot deIiber-

sORGHUM sUgAR.


In the Kansas City Times we find the
following interesting particulars con-
corning the cost Of production. profits,
ETC., from the standpoint of the cane
grower:
We have printed great deal about
the manufacture OF sugar from the
Chinese sugar cane, at Fort Scott, but
yesterday we had an old friend from
that city call on us-a most thorough
ly reliable contamination whom we
obtained some particulars that we here
reproduce.
First, the manufacture is a success
In every respect, both as to sugar and
cost Of production, which enables the
manufacturer to put it on the market
in competition with commercial sugar.
Or 1t is sold now at six cents per pound.
We give few figures as to the value OF
this crop TO the farmer:
A fairly good crop of cane will yield
fifteen tons to the acre, and twelve tons
Is a fair average, taking good and bad
together. So we will take the latter
quantity for our estimate. The works
at Fort Scott make 100 pounds of sugar
to the ton of cane on the first run, then
taking the syrup and running it over
they made twenty-five pounds more, OF
125 pounds Of sugar to the ton of cane
---Or $50 per acre for sugar. In addi-
ton, the seed now sells for 81 90 per
bushel, and yields twelve bushels to
the acre. By putting it at fifty cents
per bushel, this gives s. per acre. And
then we should have stated that the
| reSidum of molasses after the 125
pounds of sugar are made, is by actual
result twelve gallons-which, at sc
cents per gallon, is $3.50 more. So we
have as the entire product of an acre
of cane, IN sugar. syrup, and seed,
$50. 6O-Or, in round numbers, 600 pei
acre. That Is pretty good farming For
KansaS-beats wheat, corn, oats or any
OF the staple crops.
And then, there is another thing:
Sorghum is more certain crop than
any Of those enumerated, being less
affected by climatic conditions, and, OF
| course, more reliable average crop
And then again, uKansas is peculiarly
adapted to its growth.

OMAHA Bee: Kansas papers are very
enthusiastic over the future of sugar
manufacture in that state. One of
them has figured out that net profit
of over $4,000 can easily be obtained
from every fifty acres. If there are no
mistakes in the computation there
seems to be golden future in store for
Kansas farmers. But the trouble like
ly to arise is that everybody will rush
into the raising of sugar cane, to the
neglect of all other products. Sugar
production was also very profitable in
Germany when the industry was first
introduced there, but now over prOduc-
ton has reduced the profit to mini
mum. A like result may follow in this
country, but not Immediately. I'M

OALIFORNIA.

A few days ago we, in referring to
the California craze, advised those suf-
fering from it to procure a round trip
ticket, as a sort of safety-valve. In re-
ferring to this same matter, the Topeka
Capital says it is surprising that peo-
pie who are provided with home in
Kansas, where peace, plenty and hap
piness prevail, where a competency
awaits every man who is industrious,
economical and judicious. where the
skies are bright, the soil prolific and Tie
harvests abundant, that there should
be so many people crazed with the Tito
plan idea that Southern California is
indeed the Ell Dorado of the western
world. 1t is a queer sort of hegira.
That it is not superinduced by cold
snow, catarrh and such things, is
shown by the fact that it is going on in
the very pleasantest time of the year.
California never has weather to
equal the autumn of Kansas. These
people are leaving this autumn to &c
down and cross the hot plains, and
locate among the sand storms, aud ven
ture everything they have upon faith
